1) Message boards : Questions and problems : CUTS DESKTOP POWER COMPLETELY (Message 62034) Posted 3 May 2015 by plutus1947 Post: Hello Richard, Thank you also for your reply. I know there is no problem with CPU overheating as it is 'as cool as a cucumber'. On top of this I regularly check for dust etc. Build ups. As I mentioned to Claggy my desktop has plenty enough power to run BOINC. Also as I have now uninstalled BOINC I can't access the Manager. I would add that since I have uninstalled BOINC my desktop is running as it should and has not powered itself off for two days, as it did with BOINC running which suggests that it is not a temperature problem. I also run programs which require far more 'oomph' than BOINC. One final thing, it appears from some posts on the Forum that some AMD Processors can cause problems but although I have seen system crash reports using AMD I have not read any posts which say the desktop simply powers off.

The system is definitely 'meaty' enough to run the program I have now uninstalled the BOINC program so am unable to supply you with the log but I can say that the program ran well without glitches, of course up until the times the desktop completely shutdown. When I rebooted the PC each time after it shutdown the BOINC program continued to run in the background right up to the time the PC powered off again Plutus1947

It was unintentional. I have tried to find a way to remove one of them but cannot see how. Plutus1947

4) Message boards : Questions and problems : CUTS DESKTOP POWER COMPLETELY (Message 62024) Posted 3 May 2015 by plutus1947 Post: Hello Fellow BOINCERS, I am having serious problems with my 64 bit version of BOINC' Whenever it is running my complete system crashes and also the power is cut from my desktop and I have to turn my desktop on again and reboot the whole system. This happens constantly and it can occur as much as five times in an hour. This is extremely frustrating as it takes approximately five minutes for the system to reboot. I have been a BOINCER since 2010 and have had this problem with different desktop I have used, both with 64 bit and 32 bit machines. My processor at the moment is the AMD A6-3670 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics. I am virtually sure that it is the BOINC software which appears to be causing the problem because now I have uninstalled the program my desktop appears to be running without it crashing or the power cutting out. Does anyone have any solutions to this please. If anyone has they will be my friends forever. Regards to you all. Plutus1947 (John)

5) Message boards : Questions and problems : ERROR - 'No Work Available To Process' (Message 35853) Posted 23 Nov 2010 by plutus1947 Post: I used to use the old SETI@Home program to analyse data but have not used it for quite a while. Now I have downloaded & installed the BOINC program & wish to use it on the SETI program. Unfortunately when I attach the SETI@Home project I eventually get an error message saying 'No work available to process'. I then get another message saying 'Processing suspended' After a while I get the message 'Retrieving Current Status' and the whole process starts over again. Am I doing something wrong? I feel sure that SETI@Home must have plenty of projects which they want analysed, Can anyone please help. John (plutus1947)
